A 'floating voter' took the unusual step of calling Nigel Farage's radio show and asking for advice on which party to vote for to stop Brexit.
The Southbank caller said had become disillusioned with the two main parties because of the pro-Brexit stances from the two leaders.
He said he had become unsure about the Labour Party after Jeremy Corbyn claimed that it was not possible to stop Brexit, while the shadow Brexit secretary continued to offer a different viewpoint from an anti-Brexit perspective.
'What do I do?' asked the caller - taking the unusual approach of asking outspoken Brexiteer Farage for some advice.

An animated Farage responded: 'You could argue when you're voting for the Conservative party, but this is the two at the top of the Labour Party.
You may also want to watch:
'They got away with it in 2017. They got Leavers in South Wales and the North and Midlands to still vote for them, and Remainers in London to vote for them, but you can't do it again surely?'
As the caller explains he wasn't a typical Labour voter but a shy Liberal Democrat voter.
